Greetings from Berlin,
I have a few questions about the new Fransat service:
1. are the receivers being offered commercially in France (which usually include a free Viaccess card) prepared such that they can only receive signals from either Atlantic Bird 3, OR from Astra 19? In other words, if I buy one that is designed for Astra, can I also receive Fransat via Atlantic Bird with the same receiver?? Some googling leads me believe that these receivers are configured differently as a function of the specific satellite...
2. do I need to buy a dedicated receiver, or does the card work in other, popular Viaccess-equipped receivers?
Many thanks in advance for your help,
K.
